Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[Oluwa-btc]

After a disappointing first game against Fulham, Liverpool simply need to beat Crystal Palace tonight... I don't think the visitors have any chance of even scoring a goal today, let alone winning, otherwise it would be a sensation... But after they lost to Arsenal I think Liverpool will have no problem to take the three points...

Liverpool won most of them major game's last season at home ( Anfield ) kept more clean sheets also from home. I wouldn't be surprised if they repeat same against the eagle's tonight ( Crystal Palace )

Player's like Konate, Thiago and Chamberlain all been lost to injuries but I still expect the reds to march on with both step to win this game. Palace failed to score a single goal at home in the opening fixture of the premier league, will getting their first 3 points be a big issue for them?

[Razmirraz]

I was surprised by the words of Ten Hag after the second defeat in a row that the team urgently needs new transfers to midfield and attack. Maybe so, but didn't he see it before the start of the season? Now in 2 weeks, what power-ups can be found and how high quality will they be? In general, these words are already more like excuses regarding future defeats 

Ten Hag words do not reflect that he is defending himself, maybe he is expressing his frustration because Manchester United management is too cold in the transfer market. Ten Hag has also asked Manchester United officials to bring in players in midfield and attacking positions. De Jong as Ten Hag most favored player has not yet been brought in, even though Barcelona are waiting for a suitable price to release De Jong before the transfer market closes. The position of the center forward is also a concern for Ten Hag, in the first match when they lost to Brighton, Ten Hag seemed to express his frustration by installing Eriksen as the main striker, even though Eriksen's original position was as a midfielder.
Manchester United officials must obey Ten Hag wishes, because the coach understands the shortcomings in the squad he leads.

If Tuchel is found guilty after the investigation, what kind of punishment will the Chelsea manager receive?

Why should he be guilty when it was clear we (Chelsea) were denied the three points we deserved in yesterday's game. We outplayed Tottenham both technically and on field played. Our goals were worked for but that of Tottenham were gifted. Anthony Taylor has always been an enemie of Chelsea and always bias with his refereeing of Chelsea games. I still don't understand why the FA let him officiate Chelsea matches. When did dragging of someone hairs become a part of the game.

A little pull of the shirt can be overlooked but not when your hair is pulled back that resulted in you not been able to defend and the referee was right behind the action meaning he didn't even have to consult VAR to call for a foul on Cucurella. When I saw the consulting ongoing, I was thinking he was verifying for that to be a yellow card offence and to my surprised he didn't even give an ordinary foul, pathetic.

As I said, the problems that exist in the Manchester United camp are not just about one player but almost all of them need an overhaul. Some of the players they have signed so far will probably be good in their position, but it will take some adaptation and I think it will take a bit of time. Then in midfield, Fred was not as good as expected and neither was their striker. Rashford isn't as good as expected either, he's not developing well and I think he'll have to get a competitor by looking for a replacement.
The Manchester United management need to think hard about this and they cannot let this continue. 4-0 to Brentford should be a real shame but I'm not really sure what impression they have of the loss. The first 2 matches have seen them lose, maybe they will also lose in the 3rd match considering Liverpool is a more organized team than Manchester United.

Manchester United's main weakness is their poor match strategy. I believe that if they can improve their match strategy, their overall performance will improve. The chemistry between Manchester United players is not good. United's attack this season is also very weak due to the lack of understanding in the attacking line up with the midfielders. Let's see what Ten Hag decides to stabilize his team.

Whatever happened on the field shouldn't dictate the manager's behavior towards another. I can understand both managers are passionate and in the heat of the moment, things can turn but they need to respect the game and one another for doing their job and not get into personal quarrels. On Cucurella incident, I think they will look into the incident again and also look into the refereeing standards. Chelsea have had an issue with Anthony Taylor for a long time and they have finally put their displeasure out officially and in public for the first time. Maybe some things may change but the result will remain the way it is. 2-2 draw is what it will be.

Indeed, their game was beyond expectations, but they were able to develop well. I consider it a natural thing when they are just starting the competition again. As long as they're growing I don't mind it, as long as it's not like Manchester United, which has declined since the first game. This is an opportunity for them, to show that they deserve to be favourites.

what many fans fear really happened, good Liverpool players like Jota, Ramsey, Chamberlain and Jones reportedly can't play because of injury and this will be a big problem for Liverpool against Crystal Palace

but Liverpool is the host, they must be able to win at least 1-0, Klopp must have a good strategy to overcome their obstacles

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Whatever happened on the field shouldn't dictate the manager's behavior towards another.

This was a derby so all the emotions were expected. Remember Chelsea played Tottenham about 8 times last season and they (Tottenham) didn't score any goal. Even though the scoreline ended 2-2 draw, that doesn't stop the fact that Chelsea will beat Tottenham any day, any time. The best they can get is a draw and this game won't have ended in a draw if our striker was in the game. We lack a typical goal scorer and havertz isn't reliable.

Back to the managers, who do you think is at fault here, the game ended and Thomas Tuchel and Conte shaked hands but instead of the usual way of shaking the opponent by looking into their eyes conte didn't reciprocate that and that's a disrespect, which was the reason behind Thomas Tuchel holding his hands and telling him to look him into the eye (with the hand gestures) then conte over reacted even want on to post about it on Instagram

Liverpool, which this season is one of the strongest candidates to win the Premier League trophy, failed to win in the inaugural match. Even though
what Liverpool are facing is Fulham who have just been promoted, Liverpool should have won against Fulham. Next Liverpool will face Crystal Palace,
where the quality of Crystal Palace's players is still below Liverpool and also in the previous match Crystal Palace lost to Arsenal. Seeing this it
should be either Liverpool or Crystal Palace will try to beat each other. Especially Liverpool really need a win, to reduce the distance between the points
with Man City. If Liverpool again fail to win against Crystal Palace, it will be increasingly difficult for Liverpool to shift the position of Man City.
The problem is that in the Liverpool squad there are several main players who are not playing due to injury, but I believe Liverpool can still beat
Crystal Palace even if they lose some of their players.

Chelsea - Tottenham game was not much different than I expected. Seeing a draw at the end of this game was going to be the most probable thing. However Chelsea really could have won if it weren't for Kane right before the end of the game. He really saved his team there. Chelsea showed a better performance than Tottenham in general in Stamford Bridge as usual but this time they couldn't get what they wanted.

Conte's Instagram post was definitely a joke, you could see during the post-match press conference that the two coaches claimed it was all fine between them and that personally they do not have any problems with the other, i think that was why Conte made that Instagram post to buttress that fact, his use of a emojis shows it was all in good faith.

Having said that, i disagree with you that Conte disrespected Tuchel by not looking him in the eyes after the game (they are not lovers ), there is no such rule that you'd have to look an opposition coach in the eye whilst you shake hands, lol, i know that is prolly the proper thing to do, "shake hands and prolly have a word or two", but the game was filled with emotions and bust ups even before the end, thus Conte saw no need for any camaraderie and just sought to merely shake his hands and move away, that is acceptable, what is unacceptable is Tuchel firmly holding his hands, not letting go and asking him to look him in the eye, further causing more trouble and square ups. Whilsts i don't think any retrospective action will be taken against both managers (other than serving their match bans for the red card), i didn't like Tuchel's behavior at the end, it was unnecessary.

Chelsea have lost a strong defender this season in Rodiger, so Kane was able to take a good opportunity. I'm sure if Rudiger is still in the Chelsea uniform it is very difficult to score goals especially with a header.

Too long extra time I think.  Kane made Chelsea's victory go away. Mendy actually performed amazingly. A small mischief made them a draw.
Regarding Conte and Tuchel, of course, I want every coach to respect each other. They are symbols that can be imitated in the world because they are big coaches. At least they showed that. Not dictating, but shaking hands and respecting each other will look more beautiful. The opponent only in official time is completely a person who is sociable and cannot live alone.
Tuchel's goal is good, but maybe Conte doesn't understand. Their customs may also be different but we must still respect others.

I think the result against Fulham is not bad. Liverpool made 2 goals even though in the result they had to share the points.
Crystal Palace, I don't think, has a chance. but their chance is when Liverpool has a problem with their squad. and I think Liverpool are very ready for their second game.
Liverpool will be more productive from now on. because the next meeting is United. who started the season very badly.

Yes, Man U are very unlucky this season and there are already a lot of jokes about them... If they lost their first two games to the underdogs, and even 4-0 to Brentford, then what will happen against Liverpool... Man U will probably continue to have problems in the third game... And I think the club might change coaching staff again... Because the management were clearly hoping for the opposite results...

I agree with you, that in every derby game things will happen that are beyond expectations. For example, in the Chelsea vs Tottenham match yesterday, almost every important moment there was a confrontation between the two coaches and finally resulted in both being sent off by the referee after the game was over.

I don't think there's anything wrong with either of them, especially when the coach celebrates excessively over the goals scored by his team, it's only natural, especially since this match is a derby or rivalry that is done every season by football professionals.

However, it is now reported that the FA have looked into Tuchel's post-match comments that have influenced Chelsea fans in attacking the integrity of referees.

Concerning the violent act portray by Anthonio Conte, it's all results to the first goal blues conceded which Tottenham levelled the scores but this didn't mean Thomas Tuchel is right, rather they're both wrong. Conte even too it so personal that he even post on his Instagram handle trolling his pre-eminent rival, Tuchel. I believe as time goes on, the two managers will settle the grugdes the had for each other, this is football, things like this always happens among fans, so I'm not surprised by their behavior yesterday on the pitch.

Liverpool are going to play a home game against Crystal Palace today. They didn't start well to the season by drawing with Fulham. This is time for Liverpool to get their first win. Crystal Palace are not a very serious competitor for them. Liverpool should be able to defeat them easily. Their performance should be improved a lot after struggling against Fulham in defense.

[Doell]

I think Ten Hag is just hiding from his team's defeat. instead of being responsible for the poor performance, it was the statement that came out. it made fans angry with him.
with the current MU squad, it won't be easy to lose to a team whose quality is still below MU. there seems to be something wrong with the coach and the players.

Indeed something wrong, the coach implemented a strategy that was not suitable for an old striker, maybe we all know who it is. Regarding the 4-0 massacre at half time the fault was with player De Gea, and because of that the defense was in disarray. Manchester United should have bought new players who could fill in weaknesses in attack just that.

Liverpool, which this season is one of the strongest candidates to win the Premier League trophy, failed to win in the inaugural match. Even though
what Liverpool are facing is Fulham who have just been promoted, Liverpool should have won against Fulham. Next Liverpool will face Crystal Palace,

The problem is that in the Liverpool squad there are several main players who are not playing due to injury, but I believe Liverpool can still beat
Crystal Palace even if they lose some of their players.

Yes, Liverpool should have secured the full points in the first match, but a draw is also a good start rather than a defeat. we will see the next match liverpool against crystal palace. certainly kloop will play a more aggressive strategy against Crystal Palace because Liverpool are eyeing their first win at the start of this season. wrong and nunez will probably give everything in their power to bring liverpool to win the game against palace.

We all expected Liverpool to get full points in this match. But in the field they could not get full points. Liverpool is a hot favorite in the match currently being held. I think the chances of Liverpool winning with this team is above 80%. But at the end of the day, the team that plays well will win. If with luck Liverpool play poorly then they might either drop their points in this match or end the match with equal points. Whatever happens in this match we have to wait till the end of the match to know the result.

[Distraction]

There is not much to talk about the Liverpool - Crystal Palace match honestly. Because it is obvious that Liverpool will win an easy victory in Anfield. The fans are expecting them to make up for their point loss last week. No matter how much good Liverpool perform, they need to drop the amount of point losses to minimum if they want to win the league title this season. Otherwise Manchester City could do this easier this time.
